Sampled-Data Based Fault-Tolerant Control Design for Uncertain CE151 Helicopter System with Random Delays: Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Approach

This study inspects the issue of robust reliable sampled data control (SDC) for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy CE151 Helicopter systems with time-varying delays and linear fractional uncertainties. Specifically, both the variation range and the distribution probability of the time delay are considered in the control input. The essential aspect of the suggested results in this study is that the time variable delay in the control input is dependent not only on the bound but also on the distribution probability of the time delay. The prime intent of this study is to enhance a state feedback reliable sampled-data controller. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) and employing a linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) approach, a new set of delay-dependent necessary conditions is obtained to ensure the asymptotic stabilisation of a TS fuzzy CE151 Helicopter system with a prescribed mixed H∞ and passivity (MH∞P) performance index. The acquired results are expressed as LMIs, which are easily addressed using standard optimization algorithms. In addition, an exemplary scenario based on the CE151 helicopter model is presented to demonstrate the less conservative nature of the obtained results as well as the application of the recommended unique design approaches.
